black white striped dress Crisp Contrast & Stripe Strapless Midi Ava Presley Style Black & White Striped Dress

This dress transitions seamlessly from cocktail parties to late-night adventures, ensuring you stay captivating throughout

Heels are often advised, but if you're firmly a flat shoe person, look to wearing anything with a touch of glitz, like a sparkle or rhinestone embellishment or delicate embroidery

From slip dresses and denim overalls to crop tops and platform shoes, these timeless pieces can help you recreate an authentic retro look

Think a heady mix of biker jackets, combat boots, bright colours and oversized streetwear (though probably not all at once)

A pre-tied version is acceptable for black tie, though it never looks quite as good as one tied by hand
